She was March of Dimes Chair for the West End. Audrey and Jim were married August 19, 1941. They celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Her favourite pastimes were gardening, she loved spending time doing yard work especially her flower gardens and she loved going for long walks, but her favourite was spending time with her great-niece and nephews. She loved playing treasure hunt with them and they couldn't wait to play it with her. She looked forward to going to the Day Hospital once a week; she made lots of new friends there! The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the exceptional kindness and professional care extended to her during her stay at Misercordia Health Centre and St. Boniface Hospital.

Hugs It's wonderous what a hug can do, a hug can cheer you when you're blue. A hug can say I love you so, or Gee! I hate to see you go! A hug is Welcome back again, and It's great to see you, or Where have you been? The hug! There's just no doubt about it, we would like not survive without it. A hug delights and warms and charms, it's got to be why God gave us arms. Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, sweet for sisters and swell for brothers. Chances are some favourite aunts love them more than potted plants. Puppies crave'em, kittens love some, even children can't do without them. No need to fret about losing track: the more you give, the more you get back. So stretch those arms without delay, and give someone a hug today!! Chapel Lawn 885-9715
